jump said. let's get to it. >> first this thursday afternoon, the white house says president obama is reviewing potential targets in the fight against the islamic state, as war planners gear up for our new war in the middle east. a new war that was apparently declared last night. and syria's murderous regime is warning that airstrikes in the country, which the president has said will help, quote, the first sparks of fire. that is what it will trigger. those word from a syrian government run newspaper. president obama last night called the airstrikes on islamic state targets, whenever they exist. along with help from so-called moderate syrian rebels on the ground. he is pushing congress to arm and train those moderate syrian rebels. today secretary of state john kerris in the middle east to

rally support from the gulf nations but two countries left out, iran and syria itself. even though the syrian regime4 s fighting the islamic state. but we won't be fighting with them. it's two separate things. okay. president obama vowed not to work with bashar al-assad the dictator who slaughters his own people. complicated. analysts say united states airstrikes could unintentionally help bashar al-assad, who has been murdering his own people and who more than a year ago says the president says has to go. the may help hem. the strongest reaction to the strategy could complicate another tense relationship with syria's ally, russia, and it's president, vladimir putin. the russian foreign ministry indicated any united states military action in syria,3 any, without the approval of the united nations, would be, quote, an act of aggression and flagrant violation of international law. think of it. that is from russia. if this weren't so horrible it would be comical. here at home we're also getting

reaction from capitol hill as the united states begins a new phase of what was once called the war an terror. now we have a new war. that one start on our soil when terrorists attacked us, 13 years ago today and 13 years later where were? ed henry is live at the white house. now that the presidency has made his case, what's next? >> he spent some top officials like general martin dempsey, white house adds as well, up to capitol hill to brief them on this plan. there's skepticism on both sides of the aisle whether this strategy can work in part because the president is putting a lot of faith in the free syrian army, which he previously mocked and has suggested he did not want to arm because he was

arming syrian opposition members without vetting them would qualify as something that would be stupid. better vetting system to make sure that so-called moderate rebels the armed are not going to wind up in the hands of terrorists. we'll obviously see in the days ahead whether that's true. >> we'll talk about the vetting system. what else are we hearing from republicans. >> they're pushing the president for more strategy behind what

they heard last night, and what is interesting is you are hearing some republicans, but also importantly some of the president's fellow democrats, like tim cain another virginia, mark udall of california, saying you do not have the power to expand the airstrikes"f without coming to capitol hill and having an authorization vote. what's my mitch mcconnell says the president has more work to do. >> that said, i'm glad the president has brought a new focus to the effort against isil. he needs to take this responsibility head on. this congress, the next congress, and the next administration, have serious work ahead as we consider this multiyear commitment, and what it will take to defeat8risç isi. >> and that is significant about how long will this take? as the president suggested a time line of up to three years or more that would be hand off to fight against isis to the next administration.

democrat or republican. that could cost taxpayers a lot of money, obviously and that's why a fellow democrat for the 1h be a blank check. she is chairwoman of the senate appropriateses committee and has the purse strings. >> three years, right? the goal as state by the president of the united states last night is to destroy them. destroy them. that means they're gone. right? remember who they were. first there was al qaeda, then al qaeda in iraq, and and al qaeda in iraq is now what we're all calling isis. right? what is destroy? joining us now from d.c., fox news contributor, dennis roth. he served as senior director over the national security council central region along with other top roles that date back to the reagan administration. nice to see you again. >> nice to be if you you. >> the goal, carding to the president, is to destroy them and yet history tells us these groups can exist in very small

numbers in a very weakened state for years and years. so i your goal is to destroy them, knowing that reality, is this a war without end? >> well, it certainly is a war that is not going to end right away. when you declare that som1ájjt is a cancer your choice is not to contain it. it has to be to eradicate it. that can't be done overnight or done solely by us. it does require countries in the region, particularly the sunni-led countries and sunni tribes, who fought, as you were saying, shep, fought al qaeda in iraq, which was the precursor of isil, they fought them in 2007, and in fact defeated them at that time, obviously with our help and that's required again. we'll have to act but we need the sunni tribes to take on isil. we need the sunni states to join them. and these are the steps the administration is folk can yous on and is the right way to go because it's not something we

can achieve by ourselves. >> we declared them a cancer and said they could back threat to the homeland and yet we're farming out the groundwork to others. that doesn't make sense. >> well, i think, again, we have to look at how we define the nature of the threat to us. clearly there comes a point where, if we decidezv that it in fact it's going to be a threat to the homeland, then we'll do whatever we have to do on our own, about if the aim is to roll them back, defeat them, because you won't defeat them overnight, can't do it by yourself, and also not solely a military job. they have to be discredited. they have to be delegitimatized. they have to lose the appeals they have had to sunni tribes, and ebb, again, let's understand what produced. the bashar al-assad and nouri al-maliki. both of themáeffectively carried oat wars in the case of asad, brutal war against the soon citizen, and nouri al-maliki cut them out as well, and suppressed

them, and the net effect was to create a sense that anybody is better than assad and better than maliki. so the key -- the key is to win these sunni tribes back so they'll take them on and not provide them a base from which to operate. we have to have them play part of the control and we need states like saudi arabia to play a reel as well, bus ultimately delegitimatizing isil is the debeing able to destroy them over time. >> it feels like sometimes we're operating without knowledge of history and sometimes maybe without even a rearview mirror, because anything was better than saddam hussein until we got what was create after that. then we armed the iraqis and their weapons went to isil, and now we are about to arm what fantastical group of moderate syrian rebels, a group which to my knowledge, after a lot of research, does not exist as a thing. a lot of little groups, all with

different different ideas and goals and hate, who have so far, according to our intelligence, approved to be untenable and yet we're about to train them to do the ground work for them with ones that maybe end up in isil's hands. it seems like we're operating without a rearview mirror. >> i thinkow raise a point that is always good to keep in mind. there should be a constant set of lessons we learn. there should be a constant willingness to look at the assumptions we make ask question them and see whether reality is validating those assumeses or not. at this point i would say the opposition in syria, as you put it correctly, is highly fragmented. part of thiñ opposition is prepared to fight isil and at the same time fight the assad regime. one reason it's important to support those elements of the opposition, who are fighting isil and assad, is partly because in the end, they'll have more credit on theground than we

would, and partly also because in a sense, we do not want to benefit assad. the reality is, as i said, assad helped to create ice until the first place. to and isil has been selling oil to the assad regime. there are in fact those who i think, had we provided them support earlier, might have been more capable today. it's better to do something at this point than not to do it at all, and we do need allies in the end in syria because if you're going defeat isil in syria you have something you -- you need something that will replace it. so you can't just leave a vacuum. that gets to the issue you were raising. when you look in the rearview mirror, when we go in and carry out some of these fights, if we leave a vacuum it's going to be filled, and when it gets filled it's going to be filled by forces we're not going to bewno happy to deal with unless we have done a lot of coordination and work with those groups in advance. >> well, it's a sad state of affairs mr. ambassador.

it was certainly the goal the last time we spent a trillion dollars, we lost thousands of lives, went in and trained the iraqi army, more than 100,000 of them. gave them the weapons. spent a trillion dollars, when they stand up we'll stand down. they stood up. the decision was made across two administrations. they stood up. and what happened? their weapons went to our new enemy. and now we're about to engage a force to empower and arm a force that is not a force at all. a bunch of different groups of people, we're going to bring them together inuñ our vetting process, as such, that we know the same thing won't happen that just happened in iraq, with a much more prepared group. that is who we're farming this out to. we are expecting different results this time. there's a word for that. let us know what you think about the president's strategy in taking on the islamic state terrorists, tweet it@shep news

team. there's a possibility we'll read them. first back to russia. president obama says the united states is stepping up economic punishments against russia because of the crisis in ukraine. the president says the penalties will affect russia's financial, energy and defense industry. the european union is slapping russia with new punishments. and vladimir putin ordered his forces to carry out a major military exercise. the second drill in a few months. nato officials sky a thousand russian troops are still on ukrainian soil, against international law, and another 20,000 are just across the border in syria, and it was vladimir putin who had the gal -- in russia -- vladimir putin hey that gal today to say if we carry out airstrikes over syria, that would be against international law to put putin we say thank you. >> the nfl announcing a new investigation into how it handled the ray rice domestic

did you hear that? the nfl is investigating the nfl. leading that investigation is former fbi director robert mueller. but here's the kicker. owners of the pittsburgh steelers and newyx york giants will be overseeing mueller. you can understand how that raised questions how independent the investigation will be because the giants owner has already shown support for the commissioner. and it was said the ray rice video was sent to an executive in the nfl in april. april. a video in which he cold-cocked the then-fiancee inside a casino elevator, the same one the commissioner claims nobody in the league saw before last week. jonathan hunt is here on the fox news deck. very interesting details of the nfl information of the nfl. >> out of this "associated press" report, saying a law enforcement official told them he sent that incredible nateing video to the nfl months ago

because he wanted the nfl to have all the evidence before they made any decision about ray rice. he also told the ap he then got he also told the ap he then got a phone call, from reporter who spoke to the law enforcement official, woman's voice on the other end thanked him for sending the video and then said that: you're right, it's terrible. the nfl spokesman responded to that saying, quote, we have no. of this. we're not aware of anyone in our office who possessed or saw the video before it was made public on monday. on monday. we will look that it was ronalder goodell himself who said, during the new orleans saints bountygate scandal, ignorance is not an excuse. >> this isn't all that is going on. it's the headline but not the only problem of this kind this league is facing. >> there are other domestic violence case within the nfl.

ray mcdonald, the tackle with the san francisco 49ers, was arrested on two suspected counts of domestic violence, august 31 in. he is still active with the 49s. greg hardy, carolina panther, convicted on two counts of domestic violence. he is appealing the counts and the panther owner got quite upset when he talk about the issue at an event last night. >> been too slow to act. i ask you consider, no tot be too quick to judge. >> rayga rice's former team, the baltimore ravens, plays tonight against the pittsburgh steelers. thursday night football, as if the nfl needed any reminding of domestic violence issues, opens with a performance by rihanna. >> open your own can of irony. thank you. a lot more on this, including we'll speak with a former players union president

how about the music there?78 find some new music. >> more on the ray rice domestic abuse case. the nfl hired a former fbi

director to conduct what it's calling an independent investigation into itself how the league handled its case. now with is george martin, former defensive end who played his entire career with your new york football giants and was a big part of the team's super bowl xxi win. great to see you. >> thank you for having me. >> an honor to meet you. >> pleasure. >> your league has no problems now, thankfully. >> not many. not at all. certainly appears that rome is burning, and i think the commissioner has himself quite a quagmire, and the more he struggles the less progress he is making. >> can make progress or does he need to step aside. >> it's out of his hands. it's turned over to at the investigator and the investigator will report to two of the owners, who are the epitomy of integrity it will be interesting to see how it works out. >> does it pass the smell test to you there was a video they didn't get the video? >> i think in my estimation, thm

video was irrelevant. we knew the circumstances that took place in that elevator prior to -- we didn't need a smoking gun. we saw ray pull this woman out, almost callously, and almost walk away from her. that should have been enough statement to say this is a sear your problems and should have been handled accordingly. >> why wasn't it? >> i think it was gross oversight of roger goodell which he admit but this is now double jeopardy ford goodell and his wife, who has to suffer the indignity there. >> floyd mayweather has similar circumstances and nothing happened. a little double standard? >> as far as his -- is think this is an opportunity here. there's gross mistakes going on here. let's look at it in its totality and address it from the top down so we have some penalties in place we can address this thing coherently, intelligently. we're missing onopportunity right here as the public.

>> was this a coverup? >> i don't think we have evidence it's a coverup. >> wonder why -- like you said you don't need the video. >> you don't. >> wonder why the prepares of a video changed them from a where we are now. >> people could see and it it then went out into the public space and made it more of an outrage. people witnessed the severity and the savagery of what ray did and that's unacceptable under any circumstances. >> the savagery of it we knew weapon saw the result before this, and before you could actually see it happen, before the public pressure, a two-game suspension, that a money decision? >> i don't think it's -- that decision. we're doing something, we're moving affirmatively, and, therefore, the league has addressed the problem. now that we have seen the severity of it, we understand itself was too little, far too late. >> there is an overreaction in the public and those who sit on of and talk?

>> i think there is. the backlash is so severe because it was mishappened and that where we need to take a step back, let the investigation run its course, and then if they do find something tangible, heat construct a system that addresses this on the whole issue, not just on the isolated issue as it relates to the ravens. >> seems like the better conversation for us to have is not about this instance and that league but about our culture as a whole. >> that's the point. that's the point we're missing and that's what where we need to step back, cool down, and look at how do we address this on a societal basis, beginning with the national football league. >> everybody knows this is an "us" problem, not a "them" problem. a few years ago george martin decided to walk across the nation to raise aware not for money fork workers workers who e at ground sear rowe, to he traveled more than 3,000 miles on foot, bringing in millions of dollars and wrote about it in

"my journey for 9/11, just around the bend." you you war football giant and sit agent your home and the world changed. >> i had retired and was working in corporate america, and the world did change. i played 14 years for the new york final giants, never once was i ever asked to put my life though line. what i saw on september 11th september 11th were ordinary individuals who had the commitment, the bravery and tenacity to go down there and safeguard and protect our freedom, first responders, rescue and recovery workers, the height of heroism. >> things are most neitzel, most memorable, have the most impact when they impact all of your senses, and tim people who weren't here that day, you can't smell it. we -- but so we all smelled it. just as+ you did. we all felt it. didn't all walk 3,000 miles. you did. where did that come from? >> there's a bit of hip --

hypocrisy in society, that if you're on television you're a hero. i did this in tribute for those individuals who are real heroes. journey for 9/11, my story recants all of those wonderful people, those heroes who are not only here in new york but across the united states, and my conclusions from up a of this was that it's a beautiful united states, and there are people human beings out there, that have the jut most when it comes down to civility. >> to be honest i haven't read the book yet but one thing i learned about it threw skimming is, what we need to do as a society is pay a little more attention to the people who are helping us every day. >> absolutely. they safeguard or true comes that honestly some of us take travesty. the book talked about those individuals in great detail is met from the george washington bridge to san diego, and young get it on amazon or amazon kindle. a phenomenal tribute to real

heroes. >> what was was the journey itself like? there's a start and stop and you meet a lot of people. >> it was phenomenal. everywhere we rent -- i'm 6'5", black african-american, walking across america, and i had every manner of people stop me, invite site me in homes and schools and church and share this with them. and it's the best thing i've ever done in any life, singularly, and if had to do it again i would start tomorrow morning. >> tell us -- a couple million dollars. >> we(pañ made $3 million, raisd $3 million, and before i left i had an agreement with the hospitals, which there were three of them, mt. sinai, hackensack university medical center?and north shore long island jewish every dollar i raised they washington would match so it was $6 million in medical care. >> that $6 million went to a specific place for specific time. >> went to those three hospitals but in addition what is important to note is we partnered with congress woman

malone any and went down to washington, dc and were instrumental in shedding light on the bill that was passed. >> finally. >> i am very happy about that. we didn't address a small segment. we addressed the whole population of first responder. >> a group of people risked their lives for us and didn't think twice of it and we almost >> we did leave them out in the cold for an extended period of time, and the longer that was the more angry i got. so i was committed to form this organization and call attention it to. i thank god that eventually it was addressed and we helped a lot of people. unfortunately we did lose some in the way. >> you had a loss in your own family. >> two members of my extended family, two young individuals whose lives were just beginning. unfortunately we lost them in that travesty, and i just -- i matter goes out to their parents. he is a very good friend of

mine, and it was nice to be able to give something back to someone who had suffered such a tremendous loss. >> it's an honor to meet you. good to see you. >> my pleasure. >> giants -- >> next question. >> yes, sir. nice to meet you.uz >> pleasure. >> we're learning a lot about when the united states may actually start bombing the islamic state militants in syria as the pentagon prepares to arm those so-called moderate rebels. should congress have a stay in the plan or should congress be on the record about this thing we're about to do, this war we just declared against these people? we'll get the politics next.

pentagon officials. they have not said which base or bases they will use to carry out the attacks. take a look at the wall. the united states has several military bases to the north and south of iraq and syria, including the headquarters of the navy's fifth fleet in bahrain. jennifer griffin is at the pentagon this afternoon. what are we learning about president obama's plan? >> the biggest problem with the plan is thatu

manipulator. the iraqi army fled, handing weapons over to isis, weapons the u.s. provided them. finally there's the idea you can win a war with air power alone. everyone agrees you can't, shep. >> all right. let's get back to these syrian moderates, these lawyers and doctors and radio journalists who are now going to defeat isis in a way that no one else has been able to do so. >> well, who are these -- who is the free syrian army? it's a question that was asked this morning at the pentagon gaggle. pentagon spokesman could not answer the question when asked to name the moderate syrian opposition commanders.

the cia has been arming the free syrian army in small doses but the president now wants the pentagon to do it on a larger scale. that requires going to congress to seek authorization and money. a lot of the free syrian army is led by former members of president bashar assad'll military, not lawyers andm. doctors and radio journalists. their capabilities have been downplayed by the white house until now. >> this is fascinating now, isn't it? >> it's head-spinning. >> our veteran reporter at the pentagon. thank you. house speaker john bane are says he sports training moderate syrian rebels, saying they have been vetted and suggests the president's overall strategy doesn't go far enough. >> i'm not sure we are doing all that we can do to defeat this terrorist threat. and if our goal is to eliminate isil, there's a lot of doubt whether the plan was outlined by the president is enough to

accomplish that mission. >> so boots on the ground in going to sign off on that one? anybody? boots on the ground?5f no. they already told us that's what it's going to take. but we're not putting boots on the ground. that part we're farming out to the lawyers, doctors and radio journalist, according to the president a while back. these are now going to be our standing army on the ground to defeat icele and we're going to arm them, like we armed the iraqi army, the ones who ran away and gave the weapons to isil, the same weapons they're going to use against our new ground troops, the lawyers and doctors and radio journalis. >> nancy pelosi says president obama was strong and, quote, formidable in laying out his strategy last night. also said the president does not need congress to authorize his plan. >> people ask, do we want to vote? right now we believe that the president -- as the president stated he has the authority ed ins -- he needs to take the

actions he described last night in his comprehensive strategy to defeat isis. >> vote on this? oh, no, no, no voting. i'm not -- not putting my signature on this thing that we're doing. as we contract the ground war o0] to the doctors and lawyers and radio journalists. i'd really rather not. you just do that. all right? good. >> speaker boehner says he believes it would be in the interests of congress to weigh in on the issue, but he says the president would need to request authorization first. that will create a pickle, wouldn't it. >> chris moody is a political reporter for yahoo! news. this is a political disaster all the way around, isn't it? >> congress, despite nancy pelosi's comments, many members do want to weigh in on this. there's two discussions going on capitol hill right now. one is the discussion about the president's strategy that he outlined last night, and overshadowing that is exactly

how congress gets involved. do they fund=z this operation by tying it to what is called the continuing resolution, larger bill funding the government, or do they do a stand-alone vote there are reasons some people want to do the stand-alone vote so congress can assert its authority and say we want skin in the games, and others, like -- that you mentioned earlier, might not want to put their fingerprints on this. >> but we have this pesky thing, this constitution thing. it's a weird document, and what it says is, you can authorize this, mr. president, by yourself for 90 days and then you can do it for 90 more days. he has already said, will take the three years. after 180 days the congress has to give him the go-head for our new war in middle east. >> what's what hi says but the letter of the constitution is not always followed here in washington, as i'm sure you have been noticing for many years. congress has beenyt conceding control to the white house on issues of foreign affairs and

military action for a long time. i think president obama has quite a few smart lawyers who could probably argue that he has a case here. remember last night in his comments he did not necessarily say, i'm calling on congress to do this. he said i welcome their support, i welcome their input. that's not a request. that's just kind of saying, if you reside like to be part of this, feel free. >> i believe we welcome their support as well, do we welcome their support? >> we welcome their support. >> we welcome their support. >> their support is welcomed all around as we get involved in a new war. the end game again? people across the nation and world are remember those who died in new york and washington and pennsylvania 13 years ago today on 9/11. a live report is next. s charlie. his long day of doing it himself starts with back pain...
